There are various magic spells. Magic can be used by anyone using one-time spell scrolls or by magicians using runes that can be re-used as often as one likes. Both methods drain the player's mana. Mana can be restored with potions of magic energy, eating dragon root/raven herbs/stone root/dark herbs or by sleeping.

There is a trick to obtain many kinds or armor with this spell. You can't open your inventory while controlling another NPC, but there is a workaround. For example, cast control on Gor Na Drak.

Try to loot/harvest it, but instead of actually doing so, browse through "your" inventory and drop (use+down) your armor, weapons and whatever else you'd like to have.

There are various magic spells. Magic can be used by anyone using one-time spell scrolls or by magicians using runes that can be re-used as often as one likes. Both methods drain the player's mana. Mana can be restored with potions of magic energy, eating dragon root/raven herbs/stone root/dark herbs or by sleeping. See also mana and magic skills/training.
Control
Available as a rune (4th circle) or spellscroll. Requires at least 30 mana to equip, but can drain much more.
Allows you to take control of a human NPC. Doesn't work on immortal characters like Diego. It will take 4 mana per level of the target character.
- A level 2 digger can be taken over quickly with just 8 mana.
- An unnamed shadow (level 5) can be taken over with 20 mana.
- Blade and unnamed mercenaries with heavy mercenary armor will take 72 mana to take over.
- An unnamed guard (found on top of the huts in the old camp) with the heavy guard's armor (which was previously believed to be unattainable without cheats) is level 20. It'll take 80 mana to control one.
- Rodriguez (Fire robe) is level 25, so 100 mana.
- Bartholo (level 70, Robe of State armor), Scar/Arto (level 80, heavy ore baron's armor) and Gomez (level 100, Gomez' armor, though Gomez is initially immortal) could theoretically be taken over if you had 70*4=280, 80*4=320 mana and 100*4=400 mana. These levels are probably not attainable without cheats.
If you press enter, you return to being yourself. Don't wander away too far. Killing or getting killed also seems to return you to being yourself.
